Is it forbidden by the forum rules to open a TES5 Speculation Thread in Bethesda Softworks Forums > The Elder Scrolls > General Discussion and discuss there everything around TES5 Speculation?

Why do the moderators closing such threads? I have read the forum rules and there isn't anything wrong with it.

The moderators also really shouldn't try to stifle speculation by not opening a new thread them-selfs.

This moderator behavior is against the fans and freedom on the forum!

People need to take a break thats why. Have you been following the official thread?

I'm feeling bad for the mods who need to keep closing thse threads... there is only one official thread that can be used to speculate. The mods will open one in due time, creating others will just get them closed. Be patient.

Don't try to lead a rebellion against the mods. It won't work. The speculation threads are just getting extremely hectic and they would like us to calm down a bit. So let them keep things under control.

I'm gonna post how unnecessary your thread is, then I'll cry for a moderator to close this unnecessary thread.

Relax man, the forums need a rest.

*sigh*

It has nothing to do with freedom and everything to do with getting the general userbase to cool down for a bit. Mods don't work for pay, so don't expect them to sympathize with you because you don't get everything you want on a website that is 100% free for you to visit and post on, provided you follow the rules set by the forum staff. That's the agreement you entered into when you registered - if you don't like it, don't post.

1. It was closed for spam which is against forum rules.
2. We close them when they become a problem with nothing but filling up with spam.
3. You are not allowed to make threads about closed threads.
4. You are not allowed to discuss moderator actions on the open forum.

If you write a polite pm to a moderator they will be happy to direct you to the pinned rules and explain them.

Case closed.
